We’re soulmates who met 35 years late. Destiny waited, but love found us. Now we live, love, and laugh like no time was ever lost.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
Like a real-life Lake House, we went to the same school and later worked at the same company—hired the same day—yet never met. 35 years later, one message on social media changed everything. We fell in love, crossed continents, and got married. Destiny took its time, but love wrote the perfect plot.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory is the moment we met in person for the first time—after 35 years of missed chances and 4 months of long-distance love. When our eyes finally met, it felt like time stopped. All the years apart suddenly made sense. That moment confirmed what our hearts already knew: we were meant to find each other, no matter how long it took.
What would you do with $20,000?If we win $20,000, we’ll donate to a children’s cancer hospital, buy a specific piece of equipment to support Silvia’s 27-year-old daughter with cerebral palsy, save a little for the future, and take a romantic trip to Italy to celebrate the love that found us after 35 years. Giving back, caring for our family, and cherishing our journey—because love multiplies when shared.
